停止跟踪git工作目录中存在的已删除文件

Question

I have some deleted files in working directory, These are some library files that are missing. I want git to ignore them. Adding it to .gitignore would not help as they are already being tracked by git

Answer 1

For a single file, you can use the following to untract

git rm myfile

In the newer versions of git, those files are automatically untracked with

git add --update
